Another early morning shot. Here the mist is still below us, but often it ascends and covers our house when the sun gets warmer. Views like this never last long.

This time of year, the sun and I rise almost simultaneously, and that results sometimes in me taking some air on the balcony.

When we first came to Munich and got acquainted with the paintings of Carl Rottmann (which isn’t as strange as it seems, as our address was Rottmannstraße, at the time), we couldn’t believe his spectacular skies and cloud formations had a base in reality. Now, of course, we know better.

One early morning, last week.

Last Friday morning. You can’t see much of anything, but I like it.

Tonight, we had a full moon hanging over Isar valley...

A wide-angle shot. The mountains seem to be farther away than they actually are. Photography is all about choices: you can’t have everything ... which makes me sad and angry, but not suicidal –to conclude in a lighter vein! ;-)

The same scenery as always, but I like the lack of detail in this picture (best viewed as a thumbnail).

The same scenery as always, but I like the detail in this picture (best viewed large).

One beautiful day last week, I took my camera to work. Surprisingly it wasn’t stolen, so I had the opportunity to dismount on my way home and shoot some pictures. The mountains are basically the same as always, but not seen from the usual balcony perspective. The sun stood low, and the light was beautiful.

The shadows were looooong...

Rapsody in blue. Fortunately, the snow is gone now.

Shot in December, last year, but I seem not to have uploaded it before...

And they were gone. The elephants got smaller, but as a picture, I like this one best.

It takes courage to face an African elephant at such a close distance. As you see, after my last haircut I have to wear a cap to protect my head against the cold.

Sunday afternoon. A pleasant walk to the Isar nearby. I took my camera, though it was gloomy, and I had little hope of taking any noteworthy pictures. For once, I was lucky. In Winter, we have to reckon with things like this. Nevertheless, an encounter with elephants is always spectacular. I took several pictures, and found it difficult to keep the camera steady. My efforts to repair the first photo of the series were only moderately successful.
